HIFU skin tightening
Focused ultrasound to tighten and lift skin without surgery, planned by dermatologist Dr. Omkar Warang, DNB.
TypeNon-surgical
SessionAbout an hour
DowntimeLittle to none
ResultsBuild over 2 to 3 months
Loss of firmness
With age, skin loses collagen and firmness, and the jawline, cheeks and neck can begin to sag. HIFU is an option for mild to moderate laxity when surgery isn’t wanted.
How HIFU works
High-intensity focused ultrasound delivers energy to precise depths under the skin, gently heating tissue to stimulate new collagen. The skin surface is not cut.
- Areas: jawline, cheeks, neck, brow and under the chin
- Sessions: often a single session, sometimes repeated after some months
- Results: build gradually as new collagen forms

- realistic expectations about the lift
May not be suitable if…
- sagging is severe (surgery may suit better)
